Abstract: A method is presented for prediction of stresses and strains of partially prestressed concrete structures. Members are assumed to be uncracked under permanent loads, but cracking can occur under transient live load. A ...

Abstract: Concrete poles used in transmission structures usually are made using the spun-cast method. Recent surveys found that some spun-cast concrete poles have had durability problems as a result of longitudinal cracking and ...

Abstract: Precast concrete load-bearing wall panels have been used for decades with unparalleled success due to their architectural versatility, thermal insulation, ease of production and erection, and structural performance. According ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of high-strength precast prestressed double-Tee girders for bridge construction. These girders use high-strength concrete (103 MPa), Grade 550 welded wire reinforcement, and 18-mm-diameter ...

Abstract: It is a key economic criterion for multistory residential and office buildings to have a shallow floor that minimizes floor height and saves in the cost of architectural, mechanical, and electrical systems. This paper ...

Abstract: This paper is based on the results of a comprehensive field investigation of the behavior of a double‐cell cast‐in‐place box culvert. The investigation was conducted by the University of Nebraska and was completed in ...

Abstract: Shear studs used in composite steel bridge construction are typically 19.1 mm

Abstract: The

Abstract: Investigation of the background of the 610 mm (24 in.) spacing of stud shear connectors showed that this limit was set on the basis of a small amount of testing of beams with spacing greater than this limit. The literature ...
